You're right of course. This was really a sign of a Mac dying (which the G3
does with it's usual tremendous speed). But the desktop disappeared leaving
the open windows on screen- not that you could do anything other than move
the mouse; that was the reason I thought of it as the Finder going. I
expected it to return, as usual, but it didn't.
